Choosing the right high rise construction equipment is essential for contractors who want to improve productivity, reduce labor costs, and complete multi-story building projects efficiently. When it comes to concrete masonry unit (CMU) block filling, the Blastcrete MasonMate offers a specialized solution designed to simplify material handling and placement on high-rise construction sites.
The Blastcrete MasonMate combines a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump, a high-shear continuous mixer, and a 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter in one compact machine. Designed specifically for high-rise block fill applications, this labor-saving technology helps eliminate traditional CMU block fill bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
For construction contractors seeking efficient equipment that supports faster material placement and improved job-site workflow, the MasonMate is a practical solution to consider.

What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized high rise construction equipment designed for concrete masonry block filling applications. It integrates continuous mixing, hydraulic pumping, and bulk material handling to help contractors streamline the process of filling CMU walls.
The machine features a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. Its high-shear continuous mixer supports ongoing material preparation, while the integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material loading.
The specified configuration operates with a 35 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. Contractors can also choose from alternative power options, including a Kubota water-cooled diesel engine and a 30 HP electric motor with starter and disconnect.
Designed for challenging construction environments, the MasonMate can fit inside a freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It is also designed to move with a pallet jack and operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Why High Rise Construction Equipment Matters
High-rise projects present unique logistical challenges, including limited space, restricted equipment access, material transportation between floors, and tight construction schedules. Purpose-built equipment can help contractors address these challenges and improve operational efficiency.
The Blastcrete MasonMate provides several advantages for high-rise block filling operations.
1. Reduce Labor Requirements by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling can require labor-intensive bucket brigades to transport material to the placement area. The MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
Reducing manual handling can help contractors allocate workers more efficiently, control labor expenses, and streamline construction activities.
2. Improve Material Placement Efficiency
The MasonMate combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump to support material preparation and delivery.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the machine provides a dedicated solution for block fill applications. Actual production rates depend on material characteristics, site conditions, and operating requirements.
3. Simplify Equipment Transportation Between Floors
Transporting equipment to upper floors can be difficult when elevator capacity and available space are limited. The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to fit inside a freight elevator and can also be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane.
Its compact dimensions and pallet-jack mobility help simplify movement around suitable work areas, making equipment positioning more manageable on multi-story construction projects.
4. Operate in Low-Clearance Work Areas
Construction sites can include areas with limited overhead clearance. The MasonMate is designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet, offering additional flexibility for suitable block filling environments.
Contractors should verify the machine's dimensions, transport clearances, and operating space requirements before moving it into position.
5. Streamline Bulk Material Handling
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
Combined with the continuous mixer and hydraulic pump, this feature supports a more organized material placement process and helps reduce dust associated with conventional manual material handling.
